3.5 stars. Trying to decide if I want to round up or down. It was okay... slow start... maybe I just wasn't as invested as I'd hoped to be. I have no doubt others will love this book. I'm sad a YA sci-fi didn't totally impress me but at the same time, I'm not disappointed. I'll be looking out for book two!***Review to come***
I have been obsessed with Anastasia lately. I got tickets to see the Broadway show over a month ago, and actually the show the same day I started reading this book, which was an awesome coincidence. Clearly, the book gods planned this. Also, I had way to much fun with the Anastasia references in this review (and while reading).To see my review on my blog, click here!Overall: 4/5 StarsCharacters: 4/5Setting: 4/5Writing: 5/5Plot and Themes: 4/5Awesomeness Factor: 5/5If you don’t feel like reading
Yes, this IS a basically positive rating from me. Heart of Iron is basically Anastasia, in space, with lots of extra plotlines. And full disclosure: it’s basically entertaining fluff. But, you know, good entertaining fluff. With messy bits.[This took me a weird amount of time to finish considering how much I liked reading it?]This book follows a world in which the imperial families rule over everyone. In this world, robots were created to treat those infected with plague, but after a rebellion,
ARC provided by the publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. “Ana had never believed much in the Goddess. She only knew the origin story, as sweet as a bedtime lullaby. How, in a kingdom of shadows, the queen bore a daughter of light who chased the Dark away.” Heart of Iron had all the potential in the world to be my new favorite book. Basically, it’s a new and unique Anastasia retelling but set in space with a crew of outlaws who end up entwined in secrets and mysteri...
Fun, multiple POV story reminiscent of Cinder but for Anastasia instead.
“Stalo ban ach van’en. Stars are not afraid.” if I was marketing you this book I'd say it's Anastasia meets Treasure Planet and you know what? Those are two of my favourite animated movies. Despite that, I didn't actually go into this with many expectations (which helped) and I ended up really enjoying it. It was entertaining. but I also spent three hours being perpetually frustrated about all the wasted potential. WE COULD OF HAD IT ALL THIS COULD HAVE BEEN EVERYTHING. Lets break down:🚀 the
In Darkness we ShineWhat a freaking amazing start of the year!!So a few days ago I wanted to read out of nowhere an Anastasia retelling and I remembered I had this book sitting on my shelves since FOREVER. I picked it up immediately and I LOVED every single second of it.It’s so much more than an Anastasia retelling mixed with a touch of Cinder, there’s a whole new world to explore, new people to meet and new adventures to live. I loved how the “old story” was mixed with a brand new one.The book
I am lucky enough to own the beautiful Owlcrate edition of this book with the stunning purple sprayed pages and it's been on my shelves for forever and a day. Then, I saw that my library had the audiobook and I figured, meh, why not? Anastasia in space? Not really my thing and I don't get into sci-fi and I typically dislike retellings...but I went into with an open mind and was super impressed with how much I enjoyed it. It's got small A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet vibes, like a space crew
Check out more reviews @ Perspective of a Writer..."Anastasia in Space" has been thrown around to explain this book... Ana was found drifting through space as a child with Do9, a Metal or sentient robot. Fast forward and she's 17 years old and desperate to save her metal... when she runs into Robb, a spoiled Ironblood boy, a son of the high aristocracy. Now on the run with the coordinates to a lost ship and perhaps a whole lot more... The short review...I don't like Ana... She has this build up
When I heard this retelling of Anastasia was releasing, it immediately piqued my interest – even more so, once I heard there was a human/robot love story, because, uh, what?! – so I was incredibly excited to check this one out. There are some fun, unique ideas at play here (which is crucial for a retelling!), but unfortunately, there’s also quite a bit to unpack. I found myself trudging through this book and almost DNFed it several times, but I ultimately decided to finish it so that I could rev...
God, that was boring. I feel like I just sat in math class for forty five minutes, just staring at the board and not comprehending a thing.So glad this is off my currently reading shelf. I had 70 pages left and I didn't even bother reading. Good riddance. 😔✊🏼

First of all, I gotta say... the writing style was SO FUN. The author knows how to insert maximum personality into every POV. I'm seriously impressed... her way of getting into deep POV felt so natural and fun. I'm going to keep the rest of this review short. I was drawn in by the pitch - Anastasia in space! Like... why not? Anastasia is my fav childhood movie. That also means the bar was high. So, I liked the story, but I kept searching for Dimitri and never found him. Also, Ana was only one PO...
